Dolby Atmos Sound: fully immersive Dolby Atmos places sound within three dimensions for a stunningly enveloping soundscape, with you at the centre. Coupled with such stunning visuals, it's the full cinema experience.

Perfect Clarity: with the super-fast response speeds of OLED pixels, movement is fluid and free from blur. Perfect for fast-moving action, taking you further into high-octane action movies or the sporting spectacle.

Thinq AI: bringing the intelligence and convenience of voice interaction to the living room, this Thinq AI TV can listen, think and respond to your questions.
